      address and country to be exported.

    3. Enter your bank account number in IBAN format including two-character country prefix in the
      Bank 2 field. The bank account number will be used if the Bank A/C No in a Payment Mode is blank (step
      4 below), and the country prefix will be used as the country in which you are located.

    1. Enter a separate record for each Bank used by your Suppliers, and one for your own
      Bank.

    2. For your own Bank, specify a BIC (SWIFT) and enter the Account (IBAN).

    on flip D of each Payment Mode using 'Paste Special' and ensure the Account (IBAN) is brought into the
    Bank A/C No field on flip A.
Payments
  1. Ensure the To Bank A/C on flip H of each row contains the relevant Supplier's IBAN. If
    this field is blank or contains a bank account number that is not in the IBAN format, the tag
    <IBAN> in <CdtrAcct> will not be exported and instead the bank account number will be
    exported in the tag <Id> instead .

  2. If you add a Bank Reference to at least one Payment row (flip H), it will be exported in the tag
    <Ref> inside <CdtrRefInf>. The Bank Reference will be copied from the Reference in each
    Purchase Invoice being paid.

  3. Select "Per Supplier" as the Payment Format on the
    'Bank' card if appropriate.

  4. Tick the Foreign Payment box on the 'Bank' card if appropriate.
Exporting
  1. Select "Shared" as the Bank Fees option in the 'Specify Banking File' window if
    appropriate. This will cause "SLEV" to be exported in the tag <ChrgBr>. You can use the
    Payment Settings setting to choose which option
    in the specification window will be selected by default.

  2. If a Payment record contains more than one row with the same Supplier, you can select One
    Payment per Supplier
    in the 'Specify Banking File' window if you want those rows to be grouped
    together in the export file. If selected, all Payments will be exported on a One Payment per Supplier basis.
    If not selected, only those Payments where the Payment Format is "Per Supplier" (step 7 above)
    will be exported on that basis.

  3. When a Payment is exported on a "Per Supplier" basis, the <Ustrd> tag will contain a long
    text string made up of references to each Purchase Invoice being paid. Usually, the Supp. Inv. No. of each
    Purchase Invoice will be exported in this tag in the format Invoice:Supp. Inv. No, 1, Supp. Inv. No. 2. If If
    any Purchase Invoice does not have a Supp. Inv. No., the text "TRANSFER" will be exported (e.g.
    Invoice:TRANSFER, Supp. Inv. No. 2).

  4. If a Payment record contains a row paying an international Supplier, the BIC (SWIFT) of the
    Supplier's bank will be exported in the tag <BIC> inside <FinInstnId> inside
    <CdtrAgt>. The payment to an international Supplier will be detected by comparing the country
    prefix in your IBAN (in the Company Info
    setting) with that in the Supplier's IBAN. If the Supplier does not have an IBAN, the country prefix in
    your IBAN will be compared with the Country in the Supplier's Bank record or in the Contact record for
    the Supplier. The Supplier's country will be exported in the tag <Ctry> inside <Dtls> inside
    <RgltryRptg>. These tags will not be exported when paying domestic Suppliers, unless you select
    Foreign Country Payment in the 'Specify Banking File' window or in a particular Payment record
    (step 8 above).
